“We’re thrilled! It was really a privilege to be among a group of finalists and semifinalists who are changing their communities and the world,” said Yvette Scorse, Byte Back’s communications director, to Technical.ly DC. “And for Byte Back, it was one of the most amazing experiences of our 20 years. We are so thankful for WeWork’s generosity and to continue being part of a community of creators, innovators, and passionate world-changers.”

Coworking giant WeWork (which has 10 locations in the DMV) sponsored the event, recognizing entrepreneurs with a social mission. Byte Back won $360,000 and the top prize at the WeWork Creator Awards DC last March. The funds will help Byte Back to plan for a multi-city expansion and increasing free tech training to high-needs communities in Maryland.

“I’m speechless, over-the-moon, and just super excited. It opens up so many possibilities,” said J. Kevin White, executive director of Global Vision 20/20, in a statement. “This is a complete game-changer.”

It was the second major award in four months for Global Vision 20/20, which ships affordable snap-on eyeglasses and simple optometric training to impoverished people around the world. Last September, it won the National Geographic Chasing Genius award.

Austin, Texas-based for-profit re:3D, which produces accessible 3D printers that use recycled materials, also walked away with a $1 million top prize. All eight finalists walked away with something, and a grand total of $4.22 million was handed out.
